“It was a victory for the people. The people spoke, and it was victory based on truth,” said state Rep. Pat Connick.

Connick said the numbers speak volumes. Seventy-eight percent of voters in Orleans, Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes said no to the tolls.

The fifth-busiest bridge in the nation generated $22 million annually.

However, money is no longer being collected, and that has some people worried.

“I voted for the tolls. Actually, I think the tolls should have been increased because I think it’s going to be difficult to maintain that bridge at the current level of service,” said voter Adam Fuquay.

Voter Ann Woodruff fears what’s to come.

“I wasn’t surprised by it, but I voted to keep the tolls. My understanding is that it’s really going to increase traffic. By having the tolls taken off, it will be huge backups,” Woodruff said.
